Installing the X64-CL iPro

Warning! (Grounding Instructions)

Static electricity can damage electronic components. Please discharge any static electrical charge by touching a grounded surface, such as the metal computer chassis, before performing any hardware installation.

If you do not feel comfortable performing the installation, please consult a qualified computer technician.

Important: Never remove or install any hardware component with the computer power on. Disconnect

the power cord from the computer to disable the power standby mode. This prevents the case where some computers unexpectedly power up when a board is installed.

Upgrading Sapera or any DALSA Board Driver

When installing a new version of Sapera or a DALSA acquisition board driver in a computer with a previous installation, the current version must be un-installed first. Upgrade scenarios are described below.

Board Driver Upgrade Only

Minor upgrades to acquisition board drivers are typically distributed as ZIP files available in the DALSA web site http://www.imaging.com/downloads . Board driver revisions are also available on the next release of the Sapera CD-ROM.

Often minor board driver upgrades do not require a new revision of Sapera. To confirm that the current

Sapera version will work with the new board driver:

• Check the new board driver ReadMe.txt file before installing, for information on the minimum

Sapera version required.

• If the ReadMe.txt file does not specify the Sapera version, you can contact DALSA Technical

Support (see “

Technical Support ” on page 126
